Cell culture facilitates studying the mechanism of diseases and finding new treatment strategies. Traditionally used two­dimensional cell culture model is not quite sufficient in some studies due to the factors such as lack of cell to cell and cell­extracellular matrix interactions and changing cell morphology. Because of the limitations in 2D cell culture, nowadays three­dimensional cell cultures gain importance. The present study aims to identify the effect of Palbociclib on different cells when they cultured 2D and 3D. Palbociclib is a dual cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor. Palbociclib has been shown to be effective against tumor cells administered alone or in combination, and it has widely been studied in breast cancer cell lines. However, its role in 3D culture of breast cancer cells which is the closest culture model mimicking tumor tissue has not totally been examined by regarding diverse subtypes of breast cancer cell. The results underlined that MCF-7 and SKBR-3 cells which was capable of forming 3D spheroid structure more resistant to Palbociclib according to cell viability analysis. Additionally, the effect of Palbociclib was different between these two approaches in terms of cell cycle distribution and gene expression analysis, which demonstrated the importance of 3D culturing that was performed by Hanging drop method during the molecular pharmaceutical studies. Palbociclib was also evaluated in doxorubicin-resistant cells with diverse tumor origin. Resistance to anticancer agents is the main obstacle of the success of the chemotherapy. The ABC-transporter MDR1/P-glycoprotein (MDR1/P-gp; ABCB1), which was the first defined factor, lies behind the multidrug resistance. The using of multiple anti-cancer agents in combination, which is resensitized the cell to drug, has come into prominence to treat drug resistance in cancer. The results revealed that when the Doxorubicin combined with Palbociclib, the IC50 values of Doxorubicin significantly decreased in MCF-7/DOX, HeLa/DOX, K562/DOX and SKBR-3 cells, which had MDR-1 gene expression. Moreover, Palbociclib re-sensitized the resistant cells towards doxorubicin by down-regulating the P-gp, which was the principal mechanism supporting the doxorubicin resistance in these cell lines. The results clarified that Palbociclib could be a critical agent for combination therapy in the treatments of Doxorubicin-resistant cancer types. Further molecular and clinical studies are needed to totally explore the influence of Palbociclib in cancer and cancer drug resistance.

Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-09-01)
Objective: Deregulation of the cell cycle and apoptosis mechanisms in normal cells causes many problems, including cancer. In this study, a genome-wide expression analysis of cell cycle- and apoptosis-related genes in corticosteroid-, vincristine-, and melphalan-resistant U-266 multiple myeloma cell lines was conducted.

Karatas, AY; Cetin, S; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2003-04-15)
In Bacillus subtilis, two extracellular signaling peptides, ComX pheromone and CSF (competence and sporulation factor), stimulate the development of genetic competence and surfaction biosynthesis in response to high cell density (quorum sensing) by regulating the activity of transcription factor ComA. We recently showed that biosynthesis of dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin is linked to ComA and PhrC(CSF) in a Spo0K(Opp)-dependent manner by constructing phrC-, comA- and oppA-disrupted mutants of B. subtilis.

Investigation of the role of programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10) protein in multidrug resistance
Urfalı Mamatoğlu, Çağrı; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2018)
Drug resistance, a major obstacle in chemotherapy, is the sum of several cellular alterations including resistance to induction of apoptosis. Apoptosis is a well-regulated cell death mechanism which is controlled by several signaling pathways and a vast number of proteins. Alterations in the proteins involved in the apoptotic regulation have been associated with drug resistance in cancer. Programmed Cell Death 10 (PDCD10) protein is a novel apoptotic regulator that is recently linked to the modulation of ce...

Bulut, Taliye; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2018-06-23)
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered as important hotspots for the spread of the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The dissemination of ARGs is one of the most significant threat to public health. This also causes a danger for water quality in surface waters and groundwater. These waters can easily be included in human life by their use in places such as agriculture, livestock and drinking waters. The bacterial gene is important to analyze the quantity of the total bacterial load and to norm...
Effect of cobalt-60 (gamma radiation) on multidrug-resistant multiple myeloma cell lines

Emergence of resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy is a major obstacle for the successful treatment of MM (multiple myeloma). Prednisone, vincristine and melphalan are commonly used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of MM. In the current study, we examined the presence of possible cross-resistance between these drugs and gamma (gamma) radiation. Prednisone, vincristine and melphalan resistant RPMI-8226 and U-266 MM cells were generated by stepwise increasing concentrations of the drugs. The se...
